TripSaver® II Cutout-Mounted Recloser
Essential overhead lateral automation engineered to minimize outages and maximize value.
Up to 80% of faults on overhead lateral lines are caused by storm debris, vegetation, and animals.
S&C's TripSaver II single-phase recloser makes integrating automation easy. It replaces fuses to restore power automatically for temporary faults and isolate permanent faults to minimize impact and accelerate restoration.
Avoid outages and unnecessary truck rolls with the the field-proven recloser that delivers fast improvements.
Single-Phase Reclosers vs. Fuses
Lateral fusing strategies force trade-offs. Either every fault results in a sustained outage and a truck roll, or every customer on the feeder experiences a momentary outage. See how S&C’s single-phase recloser combines the best of fuse-saving and fuse-blowing strategies in one device to mitigate outages closer to the fault.
Advantages
Achieve multiple goals at once by advancing your lateral protection strategy with TripSaver II reclosers.
Avoids Outages
Mitigate momentary and sustained outages despite the weather to improve SAIDI, SAIFI, and MAIFI metrics.
O&M Cost Savings
Avoid unnecessary truck rolls to allow crews to focus on value-add modernization initiatives and restoration.
Rapid Installation and Results
Easily integrate devices into your system using S&C cutouts and programmable fuse curves.
Eco-Friendly Benefits
Lower your carbon footprint with fewer trips, and replace dated technology that can have environmental risks.

TCC Curve Variety
Hundreds of TCC curves available for easy integration and device coordination
Vacuum Interrupter
Fault current quietly contained and interrupted inside a vacuum-sealed chamber.
Local Manual Open
Breaks the load without a loadbreaking tool.
Non-Reclosing Modes
Disables the programmed automatic reclosing, with three curves available.
Delayed Close Option
Use cordless power module to add a time delay for crews before the vacuum interrupter closes*.
Operational Status
LCD screens display real-time device status with information scrolling.
Ice Breaking
Capability for the recloser to break through approximately ¾-inch (20mm) of ice.
Sectionalizing Mode
Can operate as a sectionalizer over a range of fault currents
Restraint Feature
In-rush restraint feature always on; will not nuisance trip on in-rush.
Communications Gateway
Adds functionality for gang operation and remote drop open.
Sequence Coordination
Improves coordination between upstream and downstream reclosers to prevent nuisance momentary outages
*Requires firmware v.2.1 or later
